Aside from the obvious solution (or parsing the HTML), the validator
also outputs an X-W3C-Validator-Status HTTP header and can be requested
to output results in several formats other then human readable HTML.

Its probably also worth pointing out that if you plan to hit the
validator enough times to make programmatic access worthwhile, then a
local copy would probably be faster for you.
